      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Calix (Minneapolis, MN) in Aug 2019

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiter from Calix. After speaking with the recruiter I was put in touch with the hiring manager. After speaking with the hiring manager several interviews were scheduled with leaders across the organization by a Talent Acquisition Coordinator. Scheduling was easy and flexible and done via Zoom Audio/Video conferencing. After the Zoom interviews I met in person with the hiring manager. The process went quickly, the Talent Acquisition Coordinator and the hiring manager made the process easy and flexible.
